Library

We are very proud of the Library at Outwood Academy Newbold. It provides an excellent resource for students and staff with over 12000 books as well as magazines, newspapers and computers.

Every student in school is a member of the Library and we encourage everyone to regularly borrow books, recognising the strong links between reading and attainment.

We run reading groups, work with local primary schools, shadow book awards and organise reading themed events.

The library is open every day, with qualified staff on hand to offer guidance. Students are welcome to use the Library at breaks, lunchtimes and before school from 8am.

We also offer a full programme of Enrichment after school.

Current enrichment programme:

• Monday – Year 7 Reading Group
• Tuesday – CLOSED (staff briefing)
• Wednesday – Homework and quiet reading
• Thursday – Chess Club with Mr Bingham
• Friday – CLOSED

All students in Year 7 and 8 (and some in Year 9) participate in the Accelerated Reader reading scheme. More details about the scheme can be found in the attached presentation (link below).

Students can log in to take quizzes on books they have read by following the link below:
